What Causes Neck Pain?
Neck pain often results from poor posture during computer work, repetitive strain from looking down at devices, previous injuries, or spinal misalignments in the cervical vertebrae that irritate nerves and create muscle tension. Your neck pain chiropractor will perform a detailed examination, including posture assessment, range of motion testing, and palpation to determine whether your symptoms stem from joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, disc problems, or nerve compression.
- "Tech neck" from prolonged device use and forward head posture, creating spinal strain
- Whiplash injuries from car accidents or sports impacts affecting cervical alignment
- Muscle tension and trigger points from stress, poor sleep position, or repetitive work
- Cervical disc problems, including bulges or herniations, are compressing nerves
- Upper cervical misalignments (subluxations) irritate nerve roots and restrict motion
How Chiropractic Relieves Neck Pain
Chiropractic care relieves neck pain by gently adjusting cervical vertebrae back into proper alignment, reducing nerve irritation, improving joint mobility, and allowing tight muscles to relax naturally. Your neck pain chiropractor delivers controlled, specific adjustments using the Gonstead method to target only the problem segments, avoiding unnecessary manipulation while restoring the neck’s normal curve and function.

Have Questions About Relieving Neck Pain? We’re Here to Help
How many visits does it take to relieve neck pain?
Are neck adjustments safe?
Yes when performed by trained chiropractors like those at Wayson Family Chiropractic using the Gonstead technique, neck adjustments are very safe. This method uses precise, controlled movements targeting only problem areas rather than general manipulation, minimizing risk while maximizing effectiveness.
Will my neck crack during the adjustment?
Some adjustments produce an audible “popping” sound from gas release in the joint (cavitation), while others are silent. The sound doesn’t indicate adjustment quality what matters is restoring proper alignment and motion, which the Gonstead technique accomplishes with or without audible releases.
Can chiropractic help with radiating arm pain from my neck?
Yes radiating arm symptoms often result from cervical nerve compression that chiropractic adjustments can relieve. By restoring proper neck alignment and reducing disc or bone pressure on nerve roots, many patients experience decreased arm pain, numbness, and tingling.
What's causing my neck pain if I haven't had an injury?
Should I use heat or ice for neck pain before my appointment?
Ice typically works better for acute neck pain or inflammation (15-20 minutes every few hours), while heat helps chronic muscle tension. Your chiropractor will provide specific recommendations based on your condition during your consultation.
Does insurance cover neck pain chiropractic care?
Most major insurance plans cover chiropractic treatment for neck pain, though specific coverage varies. Wayson Family Chiropractic accepts most plans and can verify your benefits before your first appointment to clarify expected costs.
